The Kenya Football Federation (FKF) has launched an investigation into allegations that goalkeeper Patrick Matasi has been involved in match manipulation.<\/b><\/p>\n
The 37-year-old, who plays for Kenyan Premier League club Kakamega Homeboyz, has won over 30 international caps.<\/p>\n
His most recent appearance for the Harambee Stars came in October last year, in a qualifier for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.<\/p>\n
An undated video posted online – which the BBC has not been able to verify – appears to show Matasi agreeing a deal to influence the outcome of a league game.<\/p>\n
“I have spoken to him. He was also shocked at what he was seeing in the video and he told me he doesn’t know about match-fixing,” Homeboyz owner Cleophas Shimanyula told BBC Sport Africa.<\/p>\n
The FKF said it would work with world governing body Fifa, the Confederation of African Football and other “relevant authorities” during its investigation.<\/p>\n
“We reaffirm our zero-tolerance policy on match manipulation and are committed to safeguarding the credibility of our competitions,” a statement added.<\/p>\n
“This investigation will adhere to FKF’s anti-match manipulation regulations and Fifa guidelines, ensuring a fair, transparent, and thorough process.<\/p>\n
“The rights of the player and his club will be respected, and appropriate action will be taken based on the findings.”<\/p>\n
BBC Sport Africa has contacted Matasi for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
